Enlightened world

The enlightened world is a social-order under enlightened governance, which promotes
the best possibilities of development of human beings towards the path of evolution
to a “higher-man”, who is equipped with knowledge, power of creativity and rational
reflections and connected to inner realms of the mind, which is the source of love
and compassion for all. It sets as its goal to inform human beings about their higher
potential to evolve beyond the conditions where they may remain imprisoned, and equip
them with necessary knowledge and opportunities of expressing creativity with which
they may reshape their conditions beneficial to evolving towards the higher stage.
The enlightened world is built on the power of the mind with which one may transcend
towards higher level of consciousness, which can reveal the unity of life with the
micro and macro-cosmos, and chart the meaningful roles which human beings may play
in creating peace, harmony and beauty in the society.

CONDITIONS FOR BUILDING ENLIGHTENED WORLD

The most primary condition of an enlightened world is the existence of an enlightened
governance (see Enlightened Democracy), which bears the visions of the higher-man,
and the goal of establishing peace and security for all. The basic securities people
need are the securities of life against hunger, shelter, indignity and threats to
life due to disease and natural calamities. The next level of securities involve
freedom to access knowledge, information and know-hows with which one may improve
one`s conditions of development, choose and protect one`s conviction and belief and
secure one`s aspirations to improve the present condition of living. After these
fundamental securities are guaranteed one requires...

FOUNDATION AND STRUCTURE OF ENLIGHTENED ORDER

Enlightened democracy

Enlightened democracy is a vision based on the view that mankind needs guidance and
direction to move in order to achieve social and political order which can be the
foundation of peace. It is a guideline that sees the world as moving forward to higher
and higher stages of evolution, where every human being has the responsibility to
participate. It views the world existing at this moment of history as a ground where
diverse stages of social evolution live together – some societies are still in a
primitive stage bound to hunger and basic needs, while a few has progressed to fulfill
greater aspirations of human freedom as creative beings searching meaning and greater
possibilities of self-realization.

Enlightened democracy professes that human beings are endowed with the power to realize
themselves in ways that may fulfill the meaning and purpose of our existence. Humanity
has the possibility to evolve in directions that we can steer ourselves once we are
equipped with knowledge of nature, and dynamics of history and understanding about
the power of our consciousness. We may guide this development that can bring harmony
and peace in the world instead of generating chaos that may arise once we conceive
the evolution of society resulting from interaction in a random way. It is a progressive
path: First, to free man from hunger and needs, then from ignorance, prejudices and
superstitions derived from culture and belief which binds man to a particular tradition
and culture. It seeks to empower man with understanding and vision, with which one
may appreciate the values and ideas which can be accepted by all people and cultures
of the world. Thus man may free oneself from ....

Enlightenment without religion

In the religious context enlightenment is considered as a spiritual revelation that
can bring deep insight into the meaning and purpose of the existence of all things
in the cosmos, and thus a way to arrive at the understanding of the mind of God,
who is assumed to be the creator of all. It is believed that this profound spiritual
understanding can be achieved when man has reached a higher level of consciousness
above the mundane consciousness of being entrapped in the world through sensory perceptions.
This higher consciousness is proposed as the way to understand the unity of all things
and feel one with all existing beings. This heightened perception of the nature
of the reality generates compassion for all living and non-living beings. With it
the mode of communication with the world change from the perception of life as
a field of struggle, competition and suffering to viewing all as the part of the
Self.

Though talk about enlightenment usually appears in religious context as a spiritual
path, it can also be understood in a non-religious way as the path to understand
the complexity of the existence of the living and the non-living worlds entangled
together in the cosmos and attain a full comprehension of the existential situation
which is dependent on the existence of all...
